One-pass migration from encrypted master.db into djay Pro JSON library. Playlists and collections preserved end-to-end, format gotchas handled on both sides, nothing leaves your machine.
Moving from Rekordbox to djay Pro normally means an XML round-trip: export from Rekordbox, hope djay Pro parses it correctly, manually rebuild playlists and collections, discover cues didn't translate. Rekordbox 6+ encrypts master.db with a vendor key that most third-party tools can't open at all. Many older migration tools simply don't work post-6.0. And on the destination side: Writes have to respect djay Pro's iCloud sync — direct edits to local files get overwritten on next sync.
Supported today
Rekordbox · Serato DJ · VirtualDJ (incl. Favorite Folders) on Windows 10+ and macOS (Apple Silicon + Intel).
Rekordbox and djay Pro speak completely different languages: encrypted master.db (Rekordbox stores rich metadata (cues, beatgrids, hot cues, colored playlists) but XML export drops nested folder structure and is lossy on cue points) versus djay Pro JSON library (djay Pro integrates tightly with Apple Music and Spotify streams alongside local files — tracks that came from a stream have no portable file path). XML export-import is the usual bridge — and it's lossy on both ends. MLD treats both formats as first-class, reads Rekordbox's structure natively, and writes djay Pro's native format directly, so playlists and collections survives and the target app doesn't re-import anything. A timestamped backup of each app's library is taken before any write.
Yes. MLD reads both libraries locally, so both apps (or at least their library files) must be accessible on the same computer. Nothing uploads anywhere — all scanning is local.
Yes. MLD supports Rekordbox's encrypted database key format, so you don't have to downgrade or export anything to read or write playlists.
Run Fix Missing Tracks for Rekordbox first. MLD scans your drives, matches moved/renamed files, and repairs links in Rekordbox before the transfer — so djay Pro receives a clean library.
Yes. Rekordbox and djay Pro libraries are both copied to timestamped backups before any write. Rollback is always one folder away.
Yes — see the djay Pro to Rekordbox guide. MLD supports every direction between supported apps.
Yes. MLD tracks Rekordbox version compatibility and updates with each new release. See the changelog for the version matrix.
Free tier covers detection and viewing. Lifetime access is $49 — $19 for the first 100 DJs.
